Oct. 7, 2013. The Boone Area Chamber of Commerce will host a Meet the Candidates Forum on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in the Boone Council Chambers on Blowing Rock Road beginning at 5:30 p.m.

All the candidates for Mayor and Town Council have been invited to participate.

Questions will be asked of all the candidates in a ‘round robin’ format; each having an opportunity to answer first, but all answering the same question.

The audience will be allowed to submit written questions during the forum. All questions will be asked by the moderator. Each response will have a 1-minute time limit and each candidate will have a 2-minute closing statement.

This forum is not intended to be a debate between candidates or between the audience and the candidates, but rather an opportunity for the citizenry to hear each candidate’s position on topics important to all.

In order to maintain decorum, political literature and signage will not be allowed in the room.
